Introducing the new Cadbury chocolate emoticon! Share your chocolate-worthy moments of joy and rate them on the Joy-O-Meter - 1x £200 voucher to be won NOW CLOSED

[AngelieMumsnet]

We’re pleased to announce that here at MNHQ, we’ve worked with Cadbury to create a shiny new chocolate bar emoticon

There are many occasions when a MNer may deserve a chocolate bar, and a moment of joy after your DCs have done something you’re particularly proud of may be one of these key moments. The more joyful the moment, the higher it might rate on the Joy-o-meter.

Cadbury say “What we’ve created in partnership with Mumsnet is a fun addition to the MN emoticon family which allows people to share their love of chocolate and how they feel about it. It’s something we feel passionately about in Cadbury and anything which brings people together in the joy of chocolate is a great moment to be embraced. Of course, we prefer the real thing, but who knows where the future will take these little emoticons so let’s wait and see ”

So, what have your DCs done in the past couple of weeks that brought you some joy? Maybe your DC made you a cup of tea for the first time? Perhaps you’ve finally succeeded in potty-training? Or maybe your DC has done their homework without you reminding them? How would you rate this moment on the Joy-o-meter: 1 to 5 chocolate bars?

Whatever your moment of joy was, we’d love to hear about it!

Share your stories here, and offer a bit of chocolate to your fellow MNers if you like – everyone who adds a comment will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will receive a £200 John Lewis voucher.

Thanks and good luck
MNHQ

DD4 has been practicing her school play, she actually managed to say her lines in front of everybody. She's always been too shy to speak before so I'm really , really proud of her.

DS1 felt well enough to leave the house on Sunday which is a moment as he has been really ill for over 2 years
DS2 It's finally clicked that he has to do his homework and I'm seeing it ticked off in his diary :-)
DD1 Helped me fold some of the laundry which is an epic mountain atm so that was a huge moment having some of the chores done without a big argument first
DS3 Got a glowing report from his teacher at school which made me very proud
DD2 Said how much she likes going round with me and it made me so happy
DD3 Got a certificate at school
DD4 Also got a certificate for good work at school
DS4 Got a glowing report from nursery about what a good boy he is, so helpful, polite and well-mannered :-)
DD5 Is 18mths and she runs up to me and throws her arms round me to give me lots of cuddles or she opens he arms for me to do the same. She makes my heart melt too.
I guess it's time for celebratory Cadbury's chocolate bars all round!

my 5 year old was singing out the 3 times table! without any mistakes... now i havent taught him that yet but i think he picks it up from his older bro! was very proud though!! made me smile :)

Third date last night... . Would i rather have some chocolate. Umm dunno :)

My DS has finally said his first words, just absolutely love hearing them come out of his mouth.

DD telling me that I needed an advent calendar like her - technically a 24 chocolate moment, but we'll go for 3 as it was very sweet of her

My 2 year old ran into his big brothers class... said ' Good Morning, Excuse me' and went to play at the table. He was SO polite and has been saying it ever since. he's only 2 and it made me super proud!

When they did the dishes!

I'd feel the joy if Mondelez paid all that tax they've avoided paying in the UK. www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/cadbury-owner-mondelez-international-paid-no-uk-tax-since-115bn-takeover-in-2010-a6762421.html

^^ just came on to say the same but Empress beat me to it.

Snap - came on to find this thread and comment on tax avoidance.

Plenty of other threads to make the same comment on.
